BTW, great source of info!

I haven't installed a full unicode font, so that sequence, put into a 
text file, only showed a little box with 9e9f inside. I discovered by 
googling that it was a CJK code point, but wasn't able to display it, 
since every unicode table I found assumed I had a full unicode font.

So I inferred that it should have been an Unicorn :-)

The link above show you the glyph using an image, not relying on the 
font installed on your machine.

Cool! Thanks! (Marked for future reference! :-)
